R. J. KOPP TIE RACK Filed Jan. 20, 1952 Inventor l/qlllorney Patented Sept. Y20, 1932 PATENT; OFFICE RUDOLPH JOSEPH KOPP, OF SANDUSKY, OHIO TIE RACK Application led January 20, 1932. SerialNo. 587,775.

This invention relates to atie rack, the general object of the invention being to provide a rack for displaying ties or the like in such a manner that each tie can be seen and one which will hold the tie firmly in position without danger of the tie being pulled out of` In describing the invention in detail, refer- Y ence will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the severa-l views7 and in which Figure 1 is a side view of the invention showing a tie thereon in dotted lines.

Fig. 2 is a front view.

In these views, the numeral l indicates an upright which is provided with a base 2, and the numeral 3 indicates a diagonally arranged rod connected at substantially its central portion to the upper end of the upright with the bar sloping downwardly and forwardly as shown.

A plurality of pairs of wires or rods l is carried by the bar with the rods or wires eX# tending on both sides of the bar, and with one wire of each pair arranged in a vertical plane above the other wire as shown more particularly in Fig. 1. n

This arrangement of the pair of wires permits a necktie such as shown at A in dotted lines in Fig. l to be looped over the upper wire or rod of a pair with an Vend portion looped over the other wire of the pair as shown in Fig. l so that the tie will be held in place without danger of the tie getting out of shape and by making the rods or wires of considerable length, a plurality of ties can be supported by the device without placing one upon the other. The upper wires of the pairs have their free ends of hook shape as shown at 5, to make it ditlicult for a shoplifter to take a tie from the rack.

Fig. 2 shows the lower wires passing through the bar 3, while the upper wires are formed in section with the inner ends of the sections threaded into the bar, though it will of course be understood that therwires can be attached to the bar in any suitable manner.

Thus I have provided a simple-rack for supporting neckties and the like with all the ties on the rack in view, as the'ties are not placed one upon the other, and the looping of two parts of a tie on a pair of the rods will hold the tie in shape.' i

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is A device of the class described comprising an upright, a diagonally arranged bar connected to the upper end of the upright intermediate the ends of the bar, said bar sloping downwardly and'forwardly, a number of spaced pairs of wires extending from the bar with one wire of yeach pair arranged in a vertical plane about the other wire of the pair, the upper wires having hooked `outer ends, said wires projecting from opposite sides of the bar, the hooked wires being longer than the other wires.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.

RUDOLPH JOSEPH KOPP.
